Pavestone pulverized limestone

Has anyone been able to find this locally? Looking for a cheap alternative for sand in my new 120.

Great, thanks for letting me know, do you think all Ace's carry it, or just that one?

jjakes24,

The corals you brought over look like their doing great. They're all open and looking good.

The clean-up crew went right to work and the smallest rock (with the finger leather) has been picked almost clean. There are a dozen snails that climbed up on the orange polyps. Could take them a couple of weeks, but I'm hoping by the time you're ready for frags they'll be algae-free.

Sorry, it's the shop right behind the ACE Hardware in Aston. I forgot it's not the actual ACE store. I don't know the name of the place. I would call ACE in Aston again and ask for the name/number of the shop that sells all kinds of gravel behind it...
